Perhaps more info would be helpful - how did you get this call? Have you been through the fostering courses offered by your state? Have you completed your homestudy? I am not totally sure how this fell in your lap? Sounds like something worth looking into, but there are so many questions?!! Do you know more information about this child and what the situation is? Why is he becoming available? Do you know what types of problems he has had to deal with? Is he being taken out of an abusive situation? What are you up against? I would recommend learning as much as you can and if he has anything you need to be prepared for such as drug exposure, suffered abuse, attachment disorder, etc....learn all you can and then you will know if this is something you are ready to take on - if you know very little about these things and they are things he has to deal with, perhaps this isn't the child for you...only you can know! Good luck - whatever you decide!
